Unfortunate Dr Coyne will not be available to lend his perspective on the meeting of the scholar's circle.
Now on ScienceBlogs: The Ultimate Charles Darwin Coffee-Table Book
Speculations on astronomy, astrophysics, news I find interesting, theoretical issues, science and science policy. I will digress into computational physics, science fiction and general issues and basically whatever I feel like whenever. And, of course, cats.
Still working on an analytic exact approximate solution to the herding problem.
So you want to be an astrophysicist?
Random info.

This is bad news. It wouldn't make much of a difference for people in the US, where the catholic church is a minority, but it would elsewhere. I always have fun reading the debunkings of ID in SBlogs, while having the comfort of coming from a country where it is not an issue, and living in another where it isn't one either (and this applies even to their continents, Southamerica and Europe). But if the Pope jumps into the boat, I'll start hearing about it here and there. Specially there. I'd join the fight, sure, but it's a fun I'd rather not have.

The partial embrace of enlightenment ideas by some religious sects was merely a delay of the inevitable-- like the compromises between Northern and Southern states prior to the Civil War.
A knock-down drag-out conflict between faith-based and reason-and-evidence-based worldviews is inevitable. This is shaping up to be the major cultural conflict of the 21st century. It will probably decide whether humanity will permanently accept it's industrial/technological experiment or will revert to a more primitive way of life.
